rINTERNAL-COllrIBUSTION MOTOR.

Application led June 22, 1925, Serial No. 38,645, andy in Sweden April 3, 1924. Y

The present invention reiates to tiro-stroke cycle internal combustion motors, and particularly to such motors which are provided with a pump for introducing' an additional supply of air to increase the charge of the Working cylinder and, thus, the output of the motor, and to such motors Where the Whole of the quantity of air present in the pump'A cylinder is forced into the Working' cylinder, in order to serve in its entirety as an explosive fuel mixture. The invention is directed to regulating means for the pump so devised that the requisite induction pressure of the pump does not exceed the pressure of coniiression attained in the Wei-kino' cylinder at o the end of the induction period, besides which the Work to be efiectedby the motor to drive the piston of the pump will be the least possible.

In order to relieve the Working cylinder of lthe combusted gases of explosion in a tWostroke cycle Vmotor of common design, a

scavenging air pump is provided which expels the gases of combustiomand also fills.

the Working cylinder with fresh air. In order that the gases of combustion may be removed from .the cylinder, there are provided channels adapted to be opened before the Working piston has completed its Working stroke, and for the short period available it is necessary that the outlet channels stand open also during a portion of the compres# sion stroke of the piston. The volume of air removed out of the uforkiiig cylinder through the outlet channels during the compression stroke reduces the charge ofthe Working cylinder, and it is this volume of air which, primarily, is to be supplied to the .vorking cylinder to complete the charge. ln'order further to increase the output of the motor, a larger rolumc of air than the one removed vthrough the outlets may be supplied to the cylinder, and the Working cylinder' thus re4 ceives a surplus charge. t

It is previously known, in a two-stroke cycle internal combustion motor, to increase tlie charge of the Working cylinoer by the arrangement of a pump adapted to force a quantity of air determined' by the volume of the pump cylinder. into the Working cylinder, duringthe period of the compression stroke of the Working piston determined by the position occupied by the Working piston when the outlet openings are closed, and by the position in which the explosive mixture is ignited, in such a manner, that the piston ofthe pump for instance is actuated by a cam which is soV adjusted that the pump stroke is completed during the said period of induction.

Ygenerally corresponds to a position of the crank pin located 25 degreesto 30 degrees before the position of maximum compression, and because the air supplied must be introduced into the Working cylinder somo time before the piston has reached the position of ignition, i. e. when the crank pin is located at a point about degrees before the point corresponding to the maximum compression, there will remain 60 degrees for the induction period. Tliis'involves that the pump piston must complete the Whole induction stroke during a movement. of the Working piston corresponding to 60 degrees of the movement of the crank pin. From this it follows that tlievelocity of induction of the pump piston will be very high. the piston, the greater will the forces of acceleration be, and the greater Will be the Work required to drive the pump;` This greater amount of Work reducesl the eiiciency of the motor to a corresponding extent. If the iu- `duction stroke of the um beo'ins earlier The greater the speed ofV any extent terminates later, the air supplied will not have suflic-icnt time to mix with the air present in the Working cylinder, before :ignition takes place. Again, if a springr actuated valve is arranged in the conduitl f between theA pump cylinder andthe working cylinder', the spring load may counteract thc induction of air into the Working cylinder before the outlet openings are closed, but :it

the saine tiinesuch spring load offers a rcsistance during the induction period, so that the induction pressure lin the punip `is increased inthe same degree beyond the pressure of compression attained in t-lie Working cylinder. i

The present invention removes the drawbacks set forth herein in such a manner that the pump piston Vmay begin the compression stroke long before the induction of the air into the Working cylinder commences, With- Cie ' 2j "the `Working pieren orf-eig pyin out any portion oiihe pui'np vifohinie' being' introduced into ehe 'Worhingeyiinder before the outlet openings are closed, and the pressure'ocompression etained yin thepinnp Wiii` not-oe higher than the Compression vprei-youre at# tained in the working Cylinder?rah-thieend of the compression period.

At the motion of the crank shaft in the direction of the arrow the working piston f is displaced by the crank shaft, and thepumpy pision 2 is displaced by the cam disk l0, in an upward direction. The connecting channel T of the pump being' closed, the air in the pump will be compressed at the displacenient of the ti-nf has reached the position 19 indicated in dash lines in l, the outlet openings e being then closed, the corresponding position for the crank shaft being' indicated in Fig. l by the line 26.' A Immediately thereafter, that is to say at the position of the crank shaft indicated by the line 2l in Fig; l, the valve 6 has assiuned the position disclosed in Fig, 5 through the action of the cam 14, While the pump piston 2 has reached a position indicated the dash lines 22 in Fig, 3. Thus the pump has been brought into communication with the Working' cylinder through the connecting channel 7, the valve channel 9 and the channel, after which the induction of the charge commences. The induction of the charge takes place at the continued motion of the pump piston 2, until the pump strole termina-tes, or, When the pump piston has practically reached the top of the cylinder. In this position the Working piston has reached theline A23 indicated in Fig. l, said line corresponding to the line in Fig. l indicating thev position of the crank shaft, and to the position occupied by the valve 6 and its cam le' in Fig. In this position, the pump piston 2 commences the suction stroke, during which the valve 6 assumes the position indicated in Fig. 6, so

that the connecting channel 7 is brought into comn'iunication With the suction channel 3 through the` valve channel S. The Valve 6 maintains this position until the pump piston 2 has nearly completed the suction stroke. In order to elucidate the various positions in Fi;` 3. 4t, 5 and 6, the periods of displacement oi. the cam disks are designated' With corresponding numbers 2l, 2st and 25. Inasinuch as the angle of displacement of the puinp piston 2' depends on the number of revolutions of the motor, on the time of closing the outlet openings, and on other circumstances, the positions indicated in the drawing for the working pistoin the pump piston and the valve may be displaced, With out the principle of the invention being departed from.
